How 15,000 Legendary Samarkand Bread Loaves Are Baked Daily In Uzbekistan | Big Batches

Uzbekistan is home to an iconic disk-shaped bread known locally as Samarkand bread. Named after the city of Samarkand, this bread is enjoyed year-round and typically eaten at the start of every meal.
Unlike most mass-produced loaves, these breads are still shaped by hand and baked inside tandoor ovens.
We visited a traditional bakery on the outskirts of Samarkand to see how 15,000 of these unique loaves are made every day and what it takes to bake such big batches.

@@Trekki200 I'd guess all the loaves weighing more or less the same probably helps a lot to learn how to properly throw them, and i assume they've accounted for losing a couple loafs in the process especially if there's a new set of hands in the bakery. These are the kind of things someone probably randomly picked up over time to make their job easier and when it turns out to work decently it's passed down to others until it becomes standard practice. Just a theory based on my work experience though, that's usually how tricks of the trade come into existence and they take practice. It helps that you're exposing yourself to at least 8 hours of practice a day if it's your job haha.

I worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in an Uzbek region in southern Kazakhstan and got to visit Uzbekistan periodically. (This is between us as Peace Corps still doesn't know xD). The breads vary, too, by region. The Samarqand bread has an interesting shape and I love the manpa - it's called a chekha in Kazakhstan. They are very special. Bread is, or was when I was there, is considered sacred but that might have been also because of the large number of people who remember the horrible famines and deaths that resulted quite a few times during the Soviet era or heard these stories from their relatives. If bread fell on the ground, Uzbeks would swiftly pick it up, press the fallen loaf to their heart then lips and utter a prayer. I accidentally dropped a round loaf and an elderly man hurriedly picked it up and did this before handing it back to me. I later asked my colleagues about this and was told it was an old custom owing to the importance of bread and wheat, as bread is referenced throughout the Old Testament. I am well-traveled but I'd never seen this custom elsewhere

He’s making the bread with such a speed and explaining while doing it, has no second to spare. Really impressive and admirable.

[@sih1095]

Whoo. Just when think you have seen most bread types.. These look amazing. Would love to try.

[@TheOneZenith]

That is a legitimately beautiful bread. I'd imagine that would sell quite well anywhere bread is eaten in the world, though the technique may be difficult to bring to other countries. I'd love to try it!

[@Sunnykenya]

I love this bread ,I can eat almost everyday when I travel to Uzbek . It so soft and delicious

[@Naemamnam]

Wow, that looks really delicious. I am so happy to see this video in the morning ☺

[@iamabread9614]

My family bought one and it is really good. I made it into a bread bowl and it's awesome.

[@Majorowsky1337]

Its been a long while since literally a simple thing as a loaf of bread made me drool, these look soo nice!

[@matthijsvanveen]

Im dutch and we also love bread but this look really amazing. I dont know if I'm ever going to Uzebekistan but if I go I would really love to eat this

[@TonyEsposito-It]

As an Italian I admire and love everything that is multi-ethnic cuisine! I really appreciate Arab bread and those from other countries, I love multi-ethnic food but I would like to say one thing ... All sweaty, without gloves, without cap, without apron, in Italy we work in almost septic environments for things to eat, the European community prohibits working without certain levels of cleanliness and prevention to work the food at its best

[@kogorun]

Never had a problem with tandoor bread made by icky oocky normal people without 60 layers of protective measures put on them and the environment. Not having meat or fat in the food makes it way safer just by itself + high heat (avg temperature of 400 Celcius) helps.

[@FIREFOX274]

@@kogorun not the point, still dirty and nasty aha it's called being Sanitary. When cooking for OTHERS you may want to try it.

[@FIREFOX274]

That's what I'm saying lol it looks delicious of course but not the best looking environment nor much effort for sanitation.

[@monster_inside_of_me]

@@FIREFOX274 nope the place is clean. But after time it looks like that bc of heat and gas. And woods r used more in those places rather than metal or somekind of furniture. Anyway those woods become darker bc of heat and the place looks like that.

[@FIREFOX274]

@@monster_inside_of_me honestly the place doesn't look that dirty. People cook outside at camp sights after all. What got me was how they made the bread, no gloves or aprons, no hair nets or any sort of protection. None of you would want my food if you saw me with my Dread headed ass bouncing around and tossing the bread haha

[@emerillg]

I love watching people doing their craft so well.

[@joslynaarons6885]

Wow!!! It looks like a giant bagel. I love all the beautiful breads of the Middle East and Central Asia. I always wished I could taste all the breads of the Ancient part of the world that are still being backed after thousands of years. Travel the world on a bread tasting tour.

[@jgcaba3173]

This woman honestly makes me so excited for cheese and bread

[@jspr2]

this definitely looks amazing! I hope someday I could get to taste one in Uzbekistan.

[@itsesozaaa6929]

If you go, you will NOT be disappointed by the food 😊😊😊

[@jspr2]

@@itsesozaaa6929 I think so too 😊 this country is definitely one on my bucket list now. I love food! specially the ones with rich and deep history, and base on this video alone I’m sure I wont be disappointed.

[@heythave]

Yeah, just go to China and then take a train, slowly moving westward. Eat every kind of bread along the way.

[@khaluu2000]

Woahhh, the style of bread can be reflected in the culture of community and togetherness. No way can someone eat this alone. And the seasoning of the center with sesame seed is just so unique with each mini variation matching the bakery’s style

[@CAZMO410]

In Japan I saw packages with two slices of bread in it. Thinking back now you've said this, it's quite sad.

[@nuraby_9228]

Putting this on my bucketlist

[@michael2305]

12 hour shifts. These guys are giving most of their lifetime to take care of others. Blessed are their hearts.

[@sid7884]

Was at that market and tried it very unique taste loved it. You can keep it for days.

[@calebtsedzik6222]

These loafs look so beautiful! I would love to try one someday! 😁

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

That bread looks amazing!
